RACING AT DERBY.

A Splendid Day-The Most KKcftement
During the Races -Westchester girl
Goes One Heat without Dr1Ver-A
Collision and Driver Doty Injured
Races Unfinished.
The last of the Derby races occurred yes
terday 1t was a splendid day, but very few
people took enough interest in them to turn
out. There was no crowd to speak of and
the general characteristic of the day seemed
to be the vast expanse of vacant seats in the
grand stand. During the two previous days
the racing had been very tame and this
probably had a bad effect on the attendance
yesterday. But those who did not attend
missed the best of the races and also the
most exciting event which has yet taken
place on the Derby track. In the third heat
of the free-for-an Shillinglaw's and Dosy's
sulkies collided near the start. One of the
wheels of Doty's sulky broke. He hung on
to Westchester Girl like tyrant and was
dragged considerable distance, although the
horses hoofs struck him at nearly every
step. He finally fell backward and West
chester Girl finished the heat without a
driver, coming in second. This was the be-
ginning of the excitement of the day. Every
BODY thought Doty was almost killed. 1t
was in this race, the free all, that the
people were surprised. There were about
300 people present.
The only thing that was lively during the
early part of the afternoon was when the
pools were being sold. There was done a
lively business From the time that the New
Haveners who had charge of the pool box
arrived on the grounds, about l O'Clock,
there was steady pouring of money into
their hands. The performance, or rather
bare-faced robbery, that some of the drivers
I. k6n Grok 1ou lint
nipped in the bud by Tom King, the starter,
by taking Nelson and Morris off their re-
spective horses, William and Mohawk, caused
a great deal of interest to be manifested by
the sporting men in the 2:45 class, which
was on yesterday and in which both horses
were entered. The people wanted to see a
good square struggle between the two. In
the pools William was the favorite, but just
before the race was started it was announced
that William had been withdrawn. This of
course left Mohawk as the fsvorite, and the
pools sold all the way from SIS to $25 on Mo
hawk, against So to SIS on the field. The
average was $50 on Mohawk and $12 on the
field.
First heat-Betsy F. showed herself to be
a speedy trotter, but a very bad breaker.
She took the lead at the start, but on the
first turn broke SO badly that Mohawk pulled
up and passed her at the quarter pole. From
this ont Mohawk held the lead, although
Betsey on the last half was hugging his
wheel.
Second heat-Mohawk took the lead again
and kept it throughout, although he had to
make better time than in the preceding heat
on account of the closeness to him of George
Purdy.
Third heat-Those who put their money
on the field were still hopeful. Mohawk dis
appointed them, however. He went the heat
half second better, with George Purdy
second.

general revenue fund much in excess
of g, 000, 900 for the next biennial Pc
Rod, without increasing the general
revenue tax levy.
l need hardly say TO you, gentlemen
OF the Legislature, that the people of
Kansas have just right to expect that
the percentage of taxation for State
purposes shall not be materially in
creased. The large annual increase in
property valuations adds, each year, a
correspondingly large sum to the ag-
gregate of the public revenues, without
increasing the percentage of taxation,
and the additional sum thus produced
ought to be, and, with proper economy,
Is amply sufficient TO defray the in
creased expenditures naturally Incl
dent to the growth of the business of
the State, and the demand for increas-
ed accommodations for its dependent
or criminal classes.
The constitution vests in the legis-
lature the sole power to authorize pub
lie expenditures and to provide revenue
for defraying such expenditures. 1t is
not within the scope of my duties, and
l certainly have no desire, to question
the full authority of the legislature in
such matters. But / fear that too many
members, inspired by the conviction
that this or that appropriation would
serge useful or beneficent purpose,
are sometimes likely to overlook the
fact that the State cannot afford to do,
in two years, all that it would be de-
siRable to do, and that the expenditures
must be limited by the bility of the
people to meet the burdens of public
taxation. These burdens, in my judg-
ment, ought not to be increased beyond
the percentage that has been levied for
the past four years.
1 would, therefore, respectfully sug-
gest that the regular appropriation
bills-those for current expenses of the
State, Judicial and Legislative Depart
ments, and those making provision for
the care and maintenance of the pub
lie institutions-be first passed.
The aggregate amount appropriated
for these neces sary purposes can then
be definitely ascertained, and if the
public revenues will justify farther APP
preparations, they can be made for
such purposes as the Legislature in its
wisdom may deem most Important and
beneficent. Very Respectfully,
J. n. MARTIN.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-At 6:25 this
morning fire broke out ON pier 81,
North river, owned by the Morgan
l. nc Steamship company and used as
discharging pier for freight. The to-
tai loss is $500, 600 TO 800, 900. The
fire originated on board the lighter
"I4orena,' which WAS moored at the
extreme end of the dock. BY the time
the tiremen arrived the pier was ablaZe.
On the north side Of the pier was
the steamer Lone Star, which
collided with the steamer Wells City a
few weeks ago, and on the south side
was the steamer City of New
York. Between Stonington pier
on the south side and
the Guion line pier on the north side
there were moOred eight lighters load
ed with cotton. The blaze was beating
down on the steamer Lone Star, and it
was only few minutes before she was
aiire. She was towed out into the
river and streams of water played on
her. She is almost totally DESTROYED.
The loss on her vi ] he about 800, 600;
no Insurance. After the Lone Star
was got out of the way attention was
turned to the City of New York and
she was towed into midstream without
being injured. This was at 7 o'clock
and Chief McGill and twelve men had

They were trying to work their way to
the lighter Iorena. when one of their
number happened to glance behind him
and in an excited manner he exclaimed,
Good God, boys we are
hemmed in The chief looked
i'm the direction of the street and saw
that the whole front of the pier was
ablaZe and that their means of escape
was cut OFF. Chief McGill mustered
his men around him and they played
on the fire with one stream. which they
. had run OH to the pier, hoping that for
time they could beat back the flames.
but the fire surrounded the hose
and it melted in short
time When this gave out Chief Nc
Gill called the men about him and said:
Boys, the only thing for us to do now
is to risk swimming" Just as he was
about to jump into the water one of the
men espied the tug boat ID. NJ. Cox.
She was brought to the dock and Chief
McGill and the men were taken on
board without anyone being hurt. The
men were no sooner on board than
word was brought to them that Wyatt,
one of the iiremen of the steamer
Lone Star was locked up in the Office
which was a short distance from the en-
trance on the water side of the pier.
He was crying loudly for help, and the
firemen passed him an axe and he tried
to cut his way cut. but lie was almost
overcome and his efforts were very
weak. y window was pried open and
he WAS dragged out in an insensible
condition. On the dock were 500
bal IS of cotton, and on eight barges
2 500 bales; making in all about 4 ,00C
bales.

First, Chamberlain moved to dis

then Hale asked leave to interrupt the
reading in order to have the Naval Ap-

Sherman moved to dispense with the

INDIANAPOLIS, March 1.-The only

was the action taken to-day by Mr..
Roberts, Democratic member of the
House, in Offering resolution declaring
Colonel Robertson to be the elected
Lieutenant Governor, in which
he was supported by Mr..
BertraIn, another Democratic member.
Just two more days remain in which
bills can be passed during this session
and the prospect of accomplishing any
further legislation are not at all
encouraging. In fact there is
no probability of this. Governor Gray
still insists that he will not
call an extra session under existing

to be changed by the end of this week.
Both Republican and Democrats claim
